Meet & Greet Airport Collection

Meet and Greet Airport Collection Service

International Student Support operates a FREE Meet and Greet Airport Collection service for all new students who are arriving in the UK for the first time.

This service is available from Manchester International Airport and London Heathrow Airport ONLY http://www.manchesterairport.co.uk/manweb.nsf and http://www.heathrowairport.com on Wednesday 25th September 2013. 

For this day only, our friendly International Orientation Assistants will be wearing high-visibility yellow and black t-shirts.  Look out for them in the designated areas within the two airports and they will welcome you to the UK and ensure you are safely transported to Keele campus.

Please note: If you are going to be living off campus, the Ambassadors can direct you to public transport as we cannot drop you off at your private accommodation.                                             

How to Book:

To use this service you must complete a Meet & Greet Airport Collection Request Form. The form can be found at the bottom of this page or can be requested directly by emailing International Student Support.  Your completed form must then be emailed to International Student Support at internationalsupport@keele.ac.uk.  Once your form has been checked we will email you to confirm your registration for the airport collection, give your allotted service departure time and also give details about where you can find our Meet & Greet team in the relevant airport.

Request forms will be available online and accepted from Thursday 1st August 2013.  Registrations for the Meet & Greet Airport Collection Service will close on Wednesday 18th September.  Any forms sent to International Student Support after the registration deadline will not be accepted and any request for collection will not be actioned.

We recommend that you book a flight to the UK that is scheduled to arrive between 6am and 3pm on the collection day.  This is because the Meet & Greet Airport Collection Service will operate between 9am and 5pm only.  You will need sufficient time to clear immigration and collect your luggage before crossing the airport to join the Meet & Greet team. 

If you are unable to fly to Manchester or Heathrow Airport, then you can still use the Meet & Greet Airport Collection Service providing that you arrange to travel to the airport by public transport.  You can still submit a request form but must inform us that you will be arriving from within the UK on the requesting collection form.
